Chocolatey Coconut Almond Granola

I found this recipe for Coconut Pecan Chocolate granola on Pinterest and knew I had to try it. I made a couple changes the first time I made it, just almonds instead of pecans and dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet, and it was so good still. I put this recipe into My Fitness Pal and it has a lot of calories per serving, but it is so filling! One serving, 1/2 a cup, has like almost 600 calories but it keeps me full until lunch which nothing else does. I always have to have a snack at 10-11 but not when I eat this. I decided yesterday to make a big batch of granola to have for breakfast all week. I wanted to see if I could make some changes to cut back the grams of sugar and bring the calories down while keeping it filling. I cut the chocolate in half and cut down on the honey and it was still delicious! Not quite as good as the measurements in the original recipe but still really delicious! This recipe is for about 8 servings.

Ingredients:
4 c old fashioned oats
1/2 c coconut oil
1/2 c honey
1 c shredded coconut
1 c chopped almonds
1/2 c dark chocolate chips, divided

Heat oven to 300 degrees. In a small bowl, add honey and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave. Start heating it for 30 seconds and stir it. If it's not all melted yet, put back in the microwave. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine oats, shredded coconut and almonds. Toss well to combine. Add melted coconut oil and honey and stir well to coat everything. Spread half on a baking sheet and spread the other half on another baking sheet. Put both pans in the oven for 15 minutes. Rotate the pans after 15 minutes and let them cook another 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle 1/4 c of dark chocolate chips over each pan of granola. I like to do it when it's warm so the chocolate melts and gets all over everything. Mix everything up well. Let cool on the pans. Store in an airtight container.
